I love shell patterns, especially in pink. There are a few little things but I've worked them out, but I believe that you missed "ch 1" at the beginning of some rows. A new crocheter might not understand that they belong there.
I was practicing this pattern and didn't know how to "sc next 2 dc tog" so I just did a "dec next 2 dc". LOL. It worked.
Thank you for presenting these patterns. If I weren't working on some sweaters I would be making doll clothes.
Yes, I do have a problem remembering to put ch 1, cuz I do not write that down when I am scribling my pattern down on paper. I did see that I forgot it on a few rows. I have already corrected that, but I am going to look up the best way to write the decreases down. I am glad somebody is actually "proof-reading" my patterns. Thanks.
I looked up the "sc next 2 dc tog" and it is just another variation of a dec, which is the way I learned it. So I decided to make a note at the beginning of the pattern instead of changing it, cuz it is the way I am already used to.
